Chapter 30 - No More Being Nice

(10th November 1991)

The following day I make sure to take my time walking to class, my first lesson of the day was Potions and since of what Professor Snape did yesterday, I thought it would be a good idea to annoy him. As I made it to the doors, I purposely made sure that I opened them loudly. When I entered all the class including Snape turned in my direction.

" Miss Potter I hope you have a good excuse to why you were late to my lesson," the professor says coldly.

" Yeah, remember when you told us like week 'the bell doesn't dismiss you I dismiss you'?" I say with a smile.

" Yes Miss Potter I do, but that doesn't explain why you are late to my lesson!" His voice gradually gets louder.

" Well, I thought if the bell doesn't dismiss me then it doesn't tell me when to get here on time," I say smugly as I watch the frustration take over my professor.

"Get out of my classroom Miss Potter," Snape points back to the doors with his wand.

" What? Why because I was just about five minutes late to your lesson?!" I look over at George and Fred and spot the two of them red in the face as they try to stop their laughter.

" Miss Potter, I gave you homework last lesson. Where is it?" Snape walks back over to his desk.

" Well Professor I finished it in the lesson and placed it on that weird black wooden log that you call your desk." I gesture to his desk in the far corner of the room. The students, apart from Slytherin, erupt into laughter. Professor Snape walks to his desk and finds my homework that is laid neatly on his desk, he picks it up and examines it before making a confused face and picking up another piece of paper." Miss Potter, why are you all your questions from one to question eight the same to Mr Fred Weasley's answers?"

" Oh, I don't know Professor, maybe because we are answering the same questions! Oh my god can you believe this?" I turn to the Twins and ask them. " Oh, and by the way can you pass me a quill and some ink?"

" No talking to one another during class!" Snape's voice bellows across the room.

" Why are you teaching during my conversation?" I shout back at him.

" That's it Miss Potter, Professor Dumbledore's office now!"

" Wait Professor, can I go to the bathroom on the way?" I giggle.

" What for?" Snape places the pieces onto his desk before turning back around to face me.

" To go to the Dark Forest! What do you think?"

" OUT! Get out of my classroom right now!" Professor Snape points his wand at me and takes long strides towards me. Quickly, I run out of the classroom and make a sprint down the halls.

" Guys you'll know where to find me!" I shout over my shoulder as I manage to get out of Snape's sight. The Twins were right, playing tricks and annoying people was the best type of entertainment.
